ApolloImperium Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Status Updates from Apollo Art for a 2011 AFF Calendar Contest Since we have secured the AFF Store on CafePress, we are going to start to make use of it again! To do so though, we are calling on you our loyal readers to help. Put on your thinking caps, get out your pencils (or computers if you're new school) and get drawing! Please see this topic for all the important details! Dribs, Drabs and Doggy Tales! AFF will be starting a weekly Drabble Prompt! Yes, that's right... We are taking drabbles & flashfics to a whole new level! Each Sunday I will be posting a new prompt and the challenge will be to explore the topic in your fandom of choice or in an original piece. Please visit this forum starting Sunday 8am for complete rules and the 1st prompt! Twitter update The link in your profile to your twitter account is now live! This will be handy for authors to post when they update, and their users to simply subscribe to their twitter pages to know when the updates are made. Funding Status Information to exact status is always found on the donations page. Currently, the site has $184.10 stored in PayPal. October's hosting costs have been paid and with expected advertising revenue we are well covered for November! We do always appreciate donations though! Please see the donation page for further information on how. Technical Updates from DemonGoddess Lost password function Currently not working, due to the core software upgrade. While the fix is being worked on, this is what users need to do in the meantime. Post to this forum, with link to your author page. Someone will be sure to manually generate the email for you from the backend. Clean up Update The following top levels have been created, or will be shortly: in books subdomain - Twilight in cartoon subdomain - Kim Possible (coming soon) in comics subdomain - DC 'Verse Comics, DC 'Verse Cartoons, DC 'Verse Movies in xmen subdomain - Marvel 'Verse Comics, Marvel 'Verse Cartoons, Marvel 'Verse Movies To help facilitate story moving, here is what can be done. This is something requires a member assist. Email to forums@adult-fanfiction.org , subject Cleanup req Where a subcategory does not yet exist (this applies to the DC and Marvel top levels), start with the category req for it. Then, link to the story you need moved to the new top levels. Re-add the story to the category if it already exists, if not, I will email you when it's created, and then add it then. DO NOT delete the old story. I need that for some of the data, which I will then add to the new upload. After I'm done with that, moving any attached reviews, and adding the story rating that was pre-existing, I will delete the old story. Alternatively, this can all be posted in the category requests forum. Once I've finished with any data migration needed done for that request, expect to see the topic closed. I would also ask where there are stories in process of migration already (such as Angel in the tv subdomain), that those users do this as well. Upcoming software change Enhanced searching. The engine has to be installed to the server, and the search routine has to be rewritten to allow for the new search engine, so that it all works properly. The new core search engine is designed with large databases in mind, and doesn't work right on small databases. As we all know, our current search engine leaves a lot to be desired. That's simply because the database itself is far too large for it to work effectively. The current search engine works fine on databases which are 200MB in size or smaller. As ours is 7.6GB and growing, one can see the problem. ETA on that is one to two months. Forum modifications Arcade - new version for IPB 3.1.x in development. I have found an alternate, which already works with this version of the forum. Casino - new version for IPB 3.1.x in development. Have not found an alternate which works with this version of the forum. Attack Shop - new version for IPB 3.1.x in development. Have not found an alternate of any kind. For the ones I've mentioned that are in development, I have no ETAs for code release. They're too early in to the rewrites to give one. These modifications are all being rewritten in php 5.x, just as the forum itself was rewritten in php 5.x. I also have to find a working points system, to even be able to install any of this.

Shunskitten Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 how do we activate the twitter part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueMudblood Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 When you're in your archive profile, go to "edit profile". Where all your links to MSN, Homepage, etc are there's now a spot for Twitter URL. See DG's post for how it works. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGoddess Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 It's simple, really. Visit your twitter page, copy/paste the url from it to that field, click alter profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
